I was pulling trees in Daming, and Lao Zhu begged me to come out of retirement

Chapter 82 7000vs500! Shocked Yuan Cavalry!
The Yuan Dynasty troops retreated towards Huanglinggang in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

Xu Da led 500 cavalrymen and slowly followed the retreating Yuan army.

Zhu Yuanzhang led the remaining troops past the Yuan army station.

It is more like a temporary camp than a garrison.
This place was originally built temporarily by Cheli Buhua in order to eliminate Han Shantong. There are basically no defensive facilities, so he would not feel bad even if it was lost.

Zhu Yuanzhang also realized this.
He laughed out loud:
"As Xu Da expected, the other side must be trying to lure us out of the city to start a war."

Tang He also laughed when he heard this:
“This is really disrespectful to us.”

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but raise his lips, but he scolded:

“A lion will fight a rabbit with all his might. Don’t underestimate the other party just because he is weak.”

Tang He laughed: "Zhongba Ge is right!"

Han Shantong, who was standing by, swallowed his saliva.

The enemy is the Yuan cavalry that roams across the Central Plains.
Judging from what these two people said, it seemed that they did not take this whip of God that hit the Eurasian continent seriously at all.

Are they going to use witchcraft again?
Just as Han Shantong was daydreaming,
Xu Da had already led the cavalry to charge at the rear of the Yuan army.

They fired a swift rain of arrows from a distance, harassing the enemy and even destroying their formation.

Then, he charged towards the enemy camp again, shooting arrows as he galloped. He fired the last round of arrows 40-50 meters away from the enemy camp, turned his horse's head to the right and retreated to his camp.

This distance is enough to penetrate any armor, but it makes it difficult for the enemy to launch a counterattack.

The retreating cavalrymen turned their bows and crossbows and shot backwards without even turning around.

The new army's rear guard was instantly disbanded.

At this moment, a hundred-man team penetrated the marching camp of the newly joined army in the shape of an arrow.
Wherever he passed, the soldiers of the newly joined army retreated in fear.

In the era of cold weapons, cavalry was like a motorcycle.

Theoretically, a dozen people standing in front of them would be enough to prevent the cavalry from moving forward.

But in fact, people have instincts, and facing the charge of cavalry is like facing a motorcycle crashing straight towards them.

Except for the elite troops who have undergone special training, few dared to confront the cavalry's charge head-on.

Therefore, the first hundred-man team quickly rushed into the heart of the newly-joined army and began to cut the battlefield to both sides.

Then a cavalry team followed closely behind and charged again along the trajectory before the first cavalry team could be closed in.

The second and third cavalry units led by Xu Da advanced straight into the enemy's territory, and even though the enemy numbered over ten thousand, they were unable to resist.

The two troops that had dispersed to the left and right the earliest surrounded the newly joined army from the left and right, instantly dividing it into four.

A group of people surrounded the disorganized new army and began to divide and strangle them.

Jia Lu, who was in the front line, felt his scalp tingle when he saw the scene before him.
This is exactly the half-turn tactic that the Mongolians use to defeat their invincible opponents in the world!
This style of play requires extremely high riding skills.
Even the elite among the elite in the Yuan army who grew up on horseback could not necessarily achieve the same clean and neat execution as the enemy with zero mistakes.

The newly joined army was defeated in an instant without any resistance.
Originally, they were the descendants of the surrendered soldiers of the Song Dynasty.

Our ancestors had no choice but to surrender because they were no match for the Yuan Dynasty's cavalry. We originally thought that if we couldn't defeat them, we would just join them, and we would never encounter this kind of perverted field battle method again.

As a result, Xu Da led 500 cavalrymen and once again achieved a glorious record of seven ins and seven outs.

What scares these new soldiers the most is that

This group of cavalry is even more terrifying than the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty.
Their weapons were more sophisticated, and the defensive power of their armor was abnormally high. Occasionally, arrows would hit the cavalry but would not be able to break through their defense.

Even the war horses were wearing heavy chain mail. The most outrageous thing was that this group of cavalry was obviously a group of heavy cavalry, but they ran at the speed of light cavalry.

(Zhu Yuanzhang diamond suit, Tang He and Xu Da gold suit, ordinary cavalry fine iron suit, the one in the picture is an ordinary soldier)
It stands to reason that a horse cannot be so agile wearing such heavy armor.

However, the only thing this group of cavalrymen needed to do was to pull their horses to perform a Thomas turn.

Every time a spearman tried to poke them down, the opponent would either brake suddenly, which violated their biological limits, or make a big jump, or turn sharply.

500 people rushed around for a long time, but the other side didn't lose a single person.

So the new army began to flee.
The enemy's combat effectiveness was not weakened as Jia Lu expected.
After only a dozen minutes of contact, tens of thousands of newly joined troops fled in panic.

Jia Lu shouted from the carriage, "No one is allowed to run! No one is allowed to run! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed! Warlord! Where is the warlord!"

The guard at the side pointed at a few Mongolian soldiers on horseback and said with a dry cough:

"Sir, the commander-in-chief has escaped..."

Jia Lu: “…”

"Go! Order the entire Tanma Chi Army to attack!"

Jia Lu waved his hand and immediately decided to destroy this group of arrogant cavalry.
If they continue to fight like this, the entire army will be routed.

Thousands of elite cavalry rushed out from the front row and surrounded Xu Da and others.

Xu Da showed a hint of confidence and laughed:
"I've been waiting for you. Everyone has been talking about the Mongolian cavalry. Let's break this rumor today! Each of the 100-man teams will fight on their own!"

The cavalry that was surrounding and killing the enemy immediately turned their horses around and rode towards an open area.

The deputy general of the pursuing Tanma Chi Army was overjoyed when he saw this:

"Fools, I was worried about accidentally hurting friendly forces. Since you are looking for death, then I will let you see the power of our Mongolian Iron Hoofs!"

Nearly 7000 cavalrymen VS 500 cavalrymen,

Moreover, the enemy is the world's strongest field army, the Mongol Iron Hoof.

No matter how you look at it, this is a losing game.

However, Xu Da's five cavalry units were not panicked at all.

Each of their hundred-man teams was divided into 10 teams of 10 men and began to encircle the thousand-man cavalry team rushing towards them from the rear.

Jia Lu's eyes widened when he saw this.
Are you crazy? You don't want to run away and instead plan to fight head-on?
The deputy general of the Tanma Red Army was furious when he saw this: "How dare you! Get ready, shoot them all down!"

The Tanma Red Army soldiers took out their bows and arrows from their backs and prepared for the first round of attack.
Just wait until the enemy enters the shooting range and let them experience what the world-famous horse archery is.

However, when the two sides were still 500 meters apart,
A crossbow arrow hit the leader's forehead with a swish.

The warhorse screamed, its legs went limp and it fell to the ground. The cavalryman on it was trampled into a pulp by the cavalry behind it.

The deputy general looked ahead in shock and was speechless: "How is this possible!?"

However, this crossbow failure was just the beginning.
The surrounding cavalry began to use the excellent war horses bred by Tianyu and the BUG-level shooting range of the bows and crossbows to carry out continuous bursts of fire.

The Red Army scouts were all shot down before they could even touch the cavalry's ashes.

"This is impossible!"

The deputy general looked at the cavalry team falling all around with bloodshot eyes and roared in disbelief.
"How can their bows and arrows shoot so far!"
